- Retrospective analysis of 77 children admitted to a PED for suspected acute allergy (AA). Results. Of the 77 eases reviewed, 61 were included because they had clinical manifestations consistent with AA. 40 had symptoms suggestive of AAN, and 21 had isolated urticaria (IU). Average age was...
Allergy Allergy to shellfish or seafood is no longer considered predictive of allergy to iodinated contrast media.2 Although seafood is rich in iodine, the antigens in seafood that cause allergic reactions are noniodine-containing proteins such as muscle protein tropomyosines.28 Similarly, patients ...

Retrospective Analysis of Shellfish Allergy, Atopy, and Radiocontrast Media ReactionsAnaphylaxisFoodAllergyFood-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) is a serious allergic reaction that may cause death rapidly in otherwise healthy individuals. There is no universal agreement on its definition or criteria for diagnosis...
Introduction We assessed whether patients are still asked about prior reactions to shellfish during screening for radiocontrast media (RCM) administration, if providers are still misinformed about the relationship between shellfish allergy, iodine reactions, and reactions to RCM, and if subsequent ...
The intervention had a greater impact on respondents' knowledge about iodine "allergy" than shellfish allergy, most likely due to the difference in baseline knowledge (p < 0.005). Pre-test correct response scores for emergency medicine (54%) and internal medicine (31%) differed significantly (p...
